Digital workplace | Qatalog 

The very technology that has been created to make work better is often <a href="https://qatalog.com/blog/post/barriers-to-collaboration/">making it more difficult</a>. Teams using various different software causes information to fragment. And this makes collaboration across an organization more burdensome instead of easier. Having a multitude of tools makes company-wide alignment difficult at best&mdash;and creates department silos at worst. More time gets spent on keeping people up to date and less on actually moving projects forward.
To improve productivity, transparency, and employee satisfaction, you need technology that brings these tools together. You need to allow teams to use whatever works best for them while enabling collaboration, clear communication, and complete alignment. Technology that creates clarity, cohesion, and supports a single point of truth improves the workplace and productivity levels of each employee.

How can technology be improved in the workplace?

Rather than being tied to a single, physical space, virtual workplaces are distributed across geographical and temporal spaces. Virtual workplaces are a network of actual workplaces&mdash;home offices, co-working spaces, and traditional offices&mdash;connected by technology. Not all of the offices within the network will be available at the same time, and neither will they always be working on the same projects.
These distributed teams interact and collaborate using a range of different digital tools which may (or may not) make the work experience more satisfying and productive. Virtual workplaces are sometimes referred to as digital workplaces for this reason and can benefit from <a href="https://qatalog.com/blog/post/what-is-a-work-hub/">tools such as a work hub</a> that integrates multiple apps into one digital space.

What is a virtual workplace?

Yes, a digital workplace is effective. But with some caveats. For digital workplaces to work, <a href="https://qatalog.com/blog/post/build-a-people-first-working-culture/">people should come first</a> and have a shared, reliable and accessible single source of truth. This in turn must be supported by a documentation-first culture in which progress and processes are thoroughly and transparently detailed. This means preparing and regularly updating shared knowledge resources.
When digital workplaces encompass this, collaboration, innovation, and accountability thrive. People can work autonomously from anywhere without feeling isolated or left out of conversations. The result is growing trust across teams. Greater focus, flexibility, and productivity is realized.

Is a digital workplace effective? 

Digital transformation calls for the adoption of new software, processes, and technologies. This new approach to business is, in itself, challenging. Generally, people have never been&mdash;and never will be&mdash;keen on change. According to McKinsey, employee buy-in and a lack of support from management teams are the reason behind 70% of digital transformation strategies failing.
Even once employee backing has been gained, concerns over data security, budget constraints, and learning how to use the chosen digital tools and new processes can cause roadblocks to digital transformations. A clear strategy and thorough training&mdash;and/or simple-to-use, intuitive digital tools&mdash;will always help smooth the path of digital transformation for businesses.

<li>Check in with employees regularly to see how they are doing and how best you can support them.</li>

How do you manage a digital workplace?

</ul>

How do you build a digital workplace?
